I hope the people who don’t believe in climate change find ticks crawling on them

60 Minutes gets Hitler’s untold side of the story

Exactly what Bari Weiss was installed for

I will say that I don't know that I was fully aware of just how corrosive flattery could be before AI came along. Just watching AI suck people into this whirlpool of motivated reasoning and cognitive collapse has really been something.

Climate change is the *most* kitchen table issue for every single American family. Food prices? Climate change Cost of housing? Climate change Cost of healthcare? Climate change War? Climate change Inflation? Climate change Clothes? Climate change Transport? Climate change

Billionaire Bezos must be afraid. Goes on an anti-AOC tear with two WaPo editorial board rants against the congresswoman in 4 days. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Th treatment of Mamdani will be nothing compared to what AOC will get, which amounts to attacking her opposition to concentrated wealth

“Once we get the Strait open, there will be a gusher of oil released.” He’s referring to the Strait that was open until Trump started his war.

Performative lying

Big tech corporations have finally figured out who is to blame for their crappy products: science fiction writers.

At this point, solving climate change is cheaper than not solving it -- not only on some grand 50 year time horizon, but tomorrow, today, immediately. Soving climate change *is* affordability. Maybe Dems should tell voters about that.

Child predator says what

Dickhead apparently said "I'm rich, I can pay the fine," but was unaware that the fine would be collected with a series of punches to his skull. Some things money can't buy. www.surfer.com/news/tourist...

A wonderful sentence from this story, describing the video of the man who threw a rock at a seal for no reason getting beat up by a local: "Meanwhile, an unidentified gentleman begins wailing on him."

Here's the full video with local YIMBY legend David Modica, in case you don't want to have to Instagram. But do give @reportermatt.bsky.social a follow.

this is the closest I've ever come to actually suggesting a "one neat trick" suggestion for anything, but I'm so serious here. the Virginia Constitution gives the legislature the power to set retirement ages for judges "REGARDLESS OF THE TERM TO WHICH ELECTED OR APPOINTED." make it 54 right now.

MAGA pastors and rabbis dedicate golden Trump idol

The OG of outbreak viruses on cruise ships needed to remind everyone who is boss. 115 infected on the carribean princess cruise ship in an ongoing outbreak. Sounds like my idea of hell on earth. Trapped at sea on a ship full of people with vomiting and diarrhea. abcnews.com/Internationa...

Breaking news: Indiana University plant microbiologist Roger Innes has been locked out of his laboratory by the school in response to a request by one of his federal funders. The move comes after Innes complained about the government’s prosecution of Chinese postdocs. https://scim.ag/4tsDqRr

The “free speech champions” are at it again

AOC is right to say this, and anyone who attacks her for it is wrong. And AOC should under no circumstances be labeled antisemitic.

I wish hell were real

We are losing our best and brightest. Trump’s immigration policies will have an effect on immigrant scientists like Shirley Meng. She is stepping down as director of Energy Storage Research Alliance and will be relocating to Singapore. 🧪 www.science.org/content/arti...

Deliberate destruction of American power and prosperity by the Trump regime

It's the Federalist Society's junta, and we're its subjects.

I was told Mills was a centrist we just couldn't trust to be truly progressive on issues.....

For years, Hungary's Viktor Orban gerrymandered his opposition out of power. But in the end, all the dirty tricks in the world couldn't save him from sinking approval ratings and massive voter turnout. There's a lesson here for us.

you know it's a serious venture when the brand partnerships are on equal footing with the actual journalism brand and corporate ownership LOVE real journalism. It's like peanut butter and chocolate. Never caused any issues.

It’s telling that Alabama took 14 years to implement Brown (you MUST desegregate) and < 14 days to implement Callais (you CAN eliminate Black districts if you call them Democratic, but you don’t HAVE to).

The govt is paying farmers $9M to destroy hundreds of thousands of peach trees that took 20 years to cultivate because a Del Monte factory closed.. Del Monte claims people are shifting to fresh fruit vs sugar-laden canned fruit. Why don't they just sell the f**king fruit? Free markets my @$$.

They don't care about accuracy. They knew the outcome they wanted, and were happy to falsify data to get it. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Well it’s grotesque but it’s honest about what white American evangelicals worship. Part of me feels every evangelical church should be forced to display one of these out front for the next seven generations. You chose your god, so take the full measure.

The rest of the world is watching and harassing Americans on social media instead of like, lobbying their governments to take action about any of the human rights crises, of which this is only one But it *is* a human rights crisis and an early stage of genocide

Hiring Jake Sullivan and the Biden Gaza team should be the kiss of death for any Dem candidate — it won’t be, but the “moderates” who will make that choice need to lose badly in primaries and there can’t be an “Obama appointing Clinton to State” back door return. puck.news/the-return-o...

technically Latino undocumented workers in California feed us and not Racist Larry in Iowa, but who’s counting

Apologies for the Substack link, but scientists and science writers: I am calling on you to leave comments in opposition to the NYC science writers group inviting known racist and eugenicist Steven Pinker to speak at their next event (which is happening on Wednesday May 20). 🧪

AOC has accomplished more than Jeff Bezos, and will continue to accomplish more, and that kills him every day

Flashback of the Flash for Friday. At 656pm on Monday, lightning strike and a double rainbow over the Chicago skyline. Enjoy!

well... well... WELL www.404media.co/ice-plans-to...

wild how bovino got ran out of minneapolis and his career and now just sits on X searching his name. freudian slip by calling it a crime scene?

i think the fact that we are STILL in the position that we, the democratic base, have to convince a bunch of recalcitrant senators to do things like ditch the filibuster, admit DC and PR (if they want it) as states, and, most importantly, reform SCOTUS, identifies all my problems with the party

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

I would love to meet the PR manager who crossed out “potholes” and wrote in “road perturbations” A+ work

I think we need to talk more openly about how white men in the U.S. benefitted from affirmative action for 200 years (i.e., systematic exclusion of women/minorities). This concept is missing from the national discourse and the public's understanding of the context underlying DEI initiatives.

There is not enough discussion of the EEOC's lawsuit against @nytimes.com for discriminating against a white man. Here's a gift link. Let's get into it.🧵 www.nytimes.com/2026/05/05/b...

So aomwone on Threads read the thesis of the head of the Heritage Foundation… It’s in AFAM it’s about the centrality of Black women in building resistance But tell me again misogynoir and parasociality are the “same thing” www.threads.com/@moni_artist...

US spending on data centers & computers has grown so much that it's larger than basically all other physical investment categories—more than all single-family housing construction, factories, power plants, industrial equipment, apartments I'm running out of points of comparison

now thats an anecdote with a punch, from Gillian Tett www.ft.com/content/c0ae...

koko: koko not vote for this koko want them out but no. koko says no not like this koko want criminals away handler: now koko, what did you think mass deportation meant?

Don’t go!
